Yinzhen still wanted to persuade his mother to change her mind: "Mother, aren't you putting your son in a difficult position? If you really don't bury me in the imperial mausoleum, who knows what kind of rumors will spread?"
Is Wanwan someone who's afraid of her reputation? "Let them say whatever they want, I don't want it anyway, and you'd better not make things difficult for me."
Yinzhen thought he had guessed the reason: his father hadn't been very kind to his mother in his later years.
But surely it's not so bad that they're not even buried together!
Wanwan knew that what he was really thinking was: "It's absolutely necessary, extremely necessary."
Yinzhen found it difficult to ask the reason in a gentle tone, "Mother, why? Although Father Emperor wasn't very good to you in his later years, he was very good to you in his early years."
Wanwan didn't mind and directly stated the reason: "The late emperor had two empresses and one imperial concubine to accompany him, so I won't join in the fun. I prefer peace and quiet."
"By the way, when my thirteenth brother's mother passed away, didn't you posthumously confer upon her the title of Imperial Noble Consort Jingmin and have her body placed in the late emperor's tomb?"
"Two former empresses, two imperial concubines, plus your mother, wouldn't that mean we have to demolish your father's tomb?"
"My good son, you wouldn't want your imperial father to die without ever finding peace, would you?"
"Your good son, you don't want your Empress Mother to die without ever finding peace, do you?"
Yinzhen: …………………
This is so hard for me...
Yinzhen wanted to try to persuade her again, but before he could even speak, he was interrupted by his mother and daughter.
"This is the only wish your mother has left while she's still alive. You can't refuse to grant it, can you?"
"Besides, so many people have already been carried in. One more or one more won't make a difference. Why do you care so much?"
"Besides, your mother herself doesn't care about her reputation after she's gone."
"Besides, my mother's tomb has already started construction, and it's halfway done. I'm definitely going to be buried in the tomb I built myself."
"I will also tell the second and sixth sons, as well as your younger brothers and sisters."
"Let me be frank with you, Mother. If you don't do as I say, you're being unfilial."
Wanwan didn't care about anything else. She absolutely did not want to be buried with the Immortal Emperor. With so many people buried together, they would fight to the death. Even if he didn't want to fight, he would definitely be affected.
"Moreover, Mother will eventually leave an imperial edict. Even if you don't do it, Xiao Liu and the others will, and then you, the emperor, will be in a difficult position."
Wanwan said in a slightly cheeky tone, "You'd better think it over carefully. It's not me who'll be in a difficult position, it's you."
"Besides, I have no feelings for you, Father Emperor, anymore. Why should I be buried with someone I don't like? If we can't be separated in life, we can at least be separated in death!"
Yinzhen was completely bewildered by their string of words and couldn't process it.
My mother is really amazing; she can come up with all sorts of reasons.
Yinzhen was extremely good to his mother, and after considering the suggestion, he agreed.
"I know, and I will do as Mother wishes."
Wanwan nodded happily, "That's right."
Yinzhen couldn't bear to say anything unpleasant to his mother.
Besides, if any unpleasant rumors spread, he can simply suppress them.
Moreover, there is one excuse that works well: that is, not wanting to disturb the late emperor's peaceful sleep.
